This is a very funny shot and like the others I love the detail of the badge. Something that strikes me though that no one else seems to have mentioned is that the character seems to be happy, I can't place why but when I look at the big white square head I see a happy expression!

After having looked at this for a bit I am now picturing my office with everyone looking like this, staring at their screens or walking about the place. Imagine being the one that has to give a speech to them all (my imagination running away again).

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
This is a great study in contrast, and for me very well suited to the challenge. It's one of those shots that's probably a bit too clever for the voters and I think you may have suffered from some people not seeing it as a "traditional triptych".

I don't agree with the others on the "centre you" being overexposed, what I do think though is that because of the high exposure that the out of focus arms take away slightly from the shot.

The concept itself is very good, I like the idea of a spectrum of emotions. The positioning of them reminds me of the angel / devil on my shoulders thing and makes the image suggest that the high and low emotions are somewhat like those, each tempting you towards them in their own way.

I dont know where I was, but I missed seeing this great photo. I bet Hogan finds the lost balls when the snow melts. You had a hard time selecting from the outtakes I bet.

Interesting. I never thought of doing this in B&W. reminds me of the old Westerns.

Exposure looks perfect. About how far was your flash from your subject(you)? It looks like the upper SB900 is pulling most of the weight...and the lower one is giving a little fill under your chin and the neck part of your jacket.

Nicest of the series, IMO. Backlit rim works well. Posture is nice too. Only nit pick is that the wrist is a bit bright and you could burn that in post processing. A grid on the SB900 would make a nicely feathered light centering on the face. The Honl grids work quite well for such situations.
